Archipelago(2022)

A true animated film about an invented archipelago. About an imaginary, linguistic, political territory. About a real or dreamed country, or something in between.

Archipelago is an animated film that explores invented islands as a gateway to understanding imaginary worlds. The film weaves together drawings and speeches to construct a linguistic and political territory—a place that exists somewhere between reality and dream. Through its visual and narrative layers, Archipelago tells the story of this fictional country and its inhabitants, using their world to reflect on our own. The film operates as both documentary and reverie, blending animation with spoken word to create a meditation on geography, language, and how we imagine the places we inhabit. It's a poetic exploration of what makes a nation real, and how storytelling shapes our sense of belonging.
